George Bangs
Bangs monument at Rosehill Cemetery
- ... that George Bangs' cemetery memorial features a mail car (pictured), carved to scale, commemorating his leadership of the Railway Mail Service? Source: "Bangs has a three-foor-long railroad car entering a tunnel for his monument; Bangs perfected the mail car while head of the Railway Mail Service." ([1])

| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Other problems:
- Couple of MOS issues such as punctuation after references. But that should not be a big issue. I don't think copying a few proper phrases is an issue with regards to copyvios.
| Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |

| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Couple of unsourced statements such as the single sentence "The New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad fast-mail trains to Chicago were called the Twentieth Century Limited and Limited Mail, respectively." However, on the whole this is sourced well. epicgenius (talk) 02:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see anything about "carved to scale" in the article. Yoninah (talk) 19:01, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
